I have decided to focus on writing a novel about Deborah’s time in France in 1968. It’s been lingering in my mind for a long time, and although the project is daunting it just seems I can’t shake it so I have to take it seriously and give it a shot, even it takes … a very long time.

The sober truth is that as a special needs father with all sorts of personal and logistical constraints in my life I have very, very little time space and energy to write. I can usually do about 2000 polished words per week, but no marketing or stuff like that, and only blogging (personal news) and commenting with difficulty.

So I have decided to prioritize the novel for now and only update with a post if there is something really important personally, or if I manage an occasional new short story in between the novel work.

Thanks for following me so far. I hope you will stay subscribed so I can let you know the results of my efforts, when I am ready – at some point.

Until then feel free to check out the archive:
